Britain was already deep into socialism. Part of that is very expensive energy (I guess so some can get it for free - but it's never you for some reason).

Old man (who IS this guy?) is back, aloof as ever. This time he's told to watch his meters to watch for water consumption. I loved all the little signs he had up lol..
